Actor Nathan Fillion and producer Tim Minear’s newest baby has died shortly after birth. That’s right, FOX has decided to scrap drive after only 4 episodes. As a fan of this show and it’s intriguing premise I have to say what a piss poor decision by FOX. The curse of Fillion and Minear holds true. Look for the final episodes of Drive to air this May.

Bova turned me on to an interesting program by Channel 4 called The Great Global Warming Swindle. I was a bit skeptical going into it, but I’ll admit it has some very interesting points. Take an hour and check it out, it’ll make you reconsider the way your government utilizes money geared towards global warming and the science behind it.

Still no word on the fate of televisions best show, Veronica Mars. VM was the winner of E!’s Save One Show contest which will result in Kristin Veitch pleading with networks to spare it from the chopping block. However, its hard to ignore the fact that the show lost a millions viewers in February. That’s a tough pill for any network to swallow. Still, you’ve gotta admire the premium quality writing that goes into the show, the critical acclaim and the extremely loyal fan-base. Expect a decision on the fate of the show real soon. As soon as word hits, you’ll hear it from me first.
